Just have to say that we are now more than halfway through the top 30 and there is no sign of Zach Watson.  This excites me to no end.

An elite defensive outfielder who OPSed .781 in Bowie would have been the thing to hang your dreams on in years past.

Exactly. Also, went 20/20. Our organization has just gotten so much better. I remember 3 years ago writing in these threads that the big boy teams could do a legit top 50-75 and not just name names for ranking sake. The more we sign for the DSL, the deeper our list will get. That’s the last piece here, is to start to get those top int’l signees. 
 

I like Deson and Willem but it’s too early for them. Especially with Deson playing a lot of 1B. I like Bradish and Vavra here.

That's the first I've heard that his defense is elite.  I think the strikeout to walk ratio is a big red flag with Watson though I think he's still viewed as a possible fourth outfielder.

The NCAA reports we’re elite defender I believe when we drafted him. The strikeouts are holding him back. But, we didn’t punish Stowers for that. 21 HR for a CF is impressive. It looks like he’s going to be more in the top 25-30 range.

Sounds like a guy who could be good trade bait if the O's ever get to a point where they're trading prospects.

Yeah, I have Hudson Haskin ahead of Watson.

I didn't see an elite defender. He's fine out in LF, but I didn't see the footspeed or jumps needed to stick in center as anything other than a Joey Rickard type of 4th outfielder who can play CF ok. I think McKenna is a better defender. I also think McKenna is a much better hitter overall and I think everyone knows what I think about McKenna at the major league level.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.

      2024 Week 3: Ravens @ Cowboys

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
